Introduction -- Shadow Economy: Challenges to Economic and Social Policy -- Concept of the Survey of Enterprises and Entrepreneurs Operating Informally -- Causes of the Shadow Economy -- What Is the Extent of the Shadow Economy in Serbia? -- Shadow Economy in the Enterprise and Entrepreneur Sector -- Effects of Formalization of Shadow Economy -- Analysis of the Administrative Capacity of Oversight Bodies -- Main Findings and Recommendations for Formalising the Shadow Economy.

Sommario/riassunto

The main objective of this book is to develop a strategy and policy



measures to enhance the formalization of the shadow economy in order to improve the competitiveness of the economy and contribute to economic growth; it explores these issues with special reference to Serbia. The size and development of the shadow economy in Serbia and other Central and Eastern European countries are estimated using two different methods (the MIMIC method and household-tax-compliance method). Micro-estimates are based on a special survey of business entities in Serbia, which for the first time allows us to explore the shadow economy from the perspective of enterprises and entrepreneurs. The authors identify the types of shadow economy at work in business entities, the determinants of shadow economy participation, and the impact of competition from the informal sector on businesses. Readers will learn both about the potential fiscal effects of reducing the shadow economy to the levels observed in more developed countries and the effects that formalization of the shadow economy can have on economic growth.

Sommario/riassunto

This book proposes a multidisciplinary assessment of the impact of complex diversity on language politics and policies, analysing how the legacies of the old interact with the challenges of the new. Its main focus is on the interplay of multilingualism on the one hand, and the dynamics of transnationalism, globalisation, and Europeanisation on the other. This interplay confronts contemporary societies with unprecedented questions, as they face the need to come to grips with increasingly varied and pervasive manifestations of linguistic and cultural diversity. This volume develops an integrative approach that identifies the key social and political dimensions at hand, offering an innovative contribution to the ongoing conversation on the manifestations and management of multilingualism.
